Using the System as a Tablet

If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform the following steps.

The display can be rotated in either direction, but when returning the system to notebook mode, be sure to turn it back to its original position (i.e., the reverse of how you turned it when you opened it. Turning the display in the incorrect direction could cause hinge damage. The screen should rotate easily; if it does not rotate easily, you are probably attempting to turn it in the wrong direction.

In the following step, be sure to position the display perpendicular to the keyboard, otherwise the keyboard or display cover could get scratched.

It is important to note that no matter which mode your tablet is in, the latch should always be engaged to prevent damage to it.

1Press the latch button and lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard. (Figure 10).

2When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it 180 degrees in either direction (Figure 11) so that it is facing backwards.

3Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.

4Push the latch towards the display (See “A” in Figure 9). The latch will pivot so the top latch disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See “B” in Figure 9). Holding the latch down, lay the display flush against the system so that the latch engages. You can now use your system as a tablet. (Figure 12)
